Say Hello to the Stellar Teaching Crew at Seamedu
Have you heard people say that you only get any experience while doing a real job and that college learning is simply theoretical? Or how about ‘you only learn on the job, bookish knowledge is not much use’? This is no longer the case. Seamedu School of Pro-Expressionism was formed to bridge the gap that often occurs between the world of academia and the industry. This can only happen when you learn while doing and can trust your teachers to act more like mentors than unapproachable figures of authority. Or as our MD & CEO, Shiva Gupta, puts it, “The faculty is less as a person of authority who leads and controls but rather works as a friend, a mentor, a facilitator, or an experienced companion.”
Our faculty comprises of professionals with extensive experience in their respective fields making them ideal mentors to our students as they have the ability to explain theory in terms of its applicability (and not simply as abstract concepts). The assignments they give our students are not only creative, but are also modelled after real-world situations, allowing you to ‘learn on the job’.
